The cover photograph for the iconic David Bowie‘s album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was shot here, at 23 Heddon Street, by Brian Ward (not by Mick Rock, as Wikipedia claims. F*ck Wikipedia!). It was taken in black and white and later coloured by artist Terry Pastor of Main Artery.
‘K. West’ has nothing to do with Kanye West, who wasn’t even born in 1972. Many thought it was actually a code for ‘quest.’
